The fish has actually died and been secretly replaced multiple times by Zushaxx's subordinates.

He's been a feature of 5th edition D&D for a while since they use 'the Forgotten Realms' as the default setting for most sourcebooks. I am generally not into Forgotten Realms (setting has eaten up so much time and resources for AD&D since 1st. edition, changed back to D&D w/3rd. ed).
